The eighth game of the year for the 5-2 Armadillos will be against the 4-2 Bangs Dragons this Friday night at Rogan Field; kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. There is a lot riding on the game for both teams. A win for San Saba would put them back in position to take the 3rd or 4th playoff spot while a win for Bangs would keep them atop the district with Tolar. This will be the 34th time the two teams have played each other, making it the 8th most played team the Dillos have faced. Let’s look at some useless (but always good to know) facts about the game.
